Celebrity Deathmatch is showing here in Britain soon, so I'd like to hear some opinions on it. As a fan of Daria, will I enjoy it, or is it the same kind of lowbrow trash MTV usually puts out?

It's the latter. It's for people for whom "South Park" is an intellectual exercise.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news,

Celebrity Deathmatch was kind of interesting when it started, but it's become pretty lame, not just due to the program itself, but also the constant re-runs they show.

hmmmm, i never knew you were british. It's kind of funny but it's really nothing like daria. It gets kind of old. ~po

You may like it, but not from any similarity to Daria. There's no wit, subtlety, or any intelligence to speak of. But some of the matchups are amusing. Basically, it's a one-joke show. Still, it's better than Loveline, Road Rules, or Real World.

Having your TV locked on the FORECAST CHANNEL ("Wow! The five-day report!") is better than Loveline, Road Rules, or Real World.

What amazes me about "Loveline" is that there are acutally people with no shame *at all* that call in and talk about things >on worldwide TV< that I wouldn't tell my dog.

Celebrity Deathmatch has been on MTV UK & Ireland for a while now, I thought. I've certainly seen many a death match myself. It's kinda funny initially, but once you've seen one celebrity dismembered, you've seen 'em all - there are only so many ways you can brutally murder a person, and I think that they've all been exhausted even at this early stage.
